Saturday Morning Coffee with Mr. Living in Peru

Carsten Korch

Dear Friends,

Winter has arrived and in some places, it is cold and humid and we are missing the sun. Several of my friends are not feeling their best, as the change in weather impacts them, but there is hope out there if you’re not feeling good.

As part of the Oxapampa Cultural Week, Selví¡monos, the 2-day eco-conscious music festival starts on June 30, where musicians from various Latin countries will entertain, so if you need a break from wherever you are, this might be the right occasion and opportunity to explore another beautiful part of Peru.

You can drive there in about 12 hours or take the bus, which drives you almost from door to door, while you rest. Check out these videos, which we recorded back in 2014.

The Gaudet family from Canada is traveling through Peru and visited Puno & Lake Titicaca.
